Formative Assessment for Students and Teachers (FAST)

The Formative Assessment for Students and Teachers (FAST) State Collaborative on Assessment and Student Standards (SCASS) was formed in 2006 and since then has been committed to establishing formative assessment as a component of a balanced assessment system so that teachers have the ongoing information they need to guide student learning day-by-day. The FAST SCASS supports state members by creating a range of resources for state use, building member capacity to be the primary experts in their state on formative assessment, and serving as a network for members to share ideas and experiences related to implementing formative assessment.
